Many will relish Broken Flowers' refusal to serve up a resolution; others will find it frustrating. Inevitably, that's Jarmusch: like Murray's character journey, the rewards lie in the small moments that fade as much as the ones that linger.

I'd seen this dvd before, only a couple of years ago. It was so completely forgettable that I picked it up again and watched it through, with only the tiniest of vague feeling that something or another felt sort of, maybe familiar. At the end of the film, I realized that I'd sat through this thing twice in my life. All I can say is: it's a good thing I really, really love Bill Murray, otherwise, I'd have been kind of annoyed. It's not THAT bad. It just isn't anything close to being engaging. If you're a Murray fan, you will insist on seeing it, just like me. I'd love to come back and read the reviews of others later, but will inevitably forget this movie exists within an hour of posting this review.

Well, Roger Ebert liked it. Bill is not at his funniest here, but that's not the point. It's about regrets that come with age. I did laugh at the insightful cat though, and I enjoyed imagining what Don was thinking as he met his girl friends from the past.

Bill must have been hard up for money to have a role in this debacle. I expected more from Bill's character. The pink objects was an interesting twist. I wonder who was sending Don Johnston (Bill) the pink letters? Nice reunion with Sharon Stone and her daughter baring it all.
The ending was bit abrupt? Never figured out whose grave Bill visited, a sister or daughter based on no dates on tombstone~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This is honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I am a big Bill Murray fan and was very disappointed. A lot of dry time of nothing going on. Spoiler Alert: Absolutely nothing gets solved, at all.

Bill Murray is always authentic in his roles. The film story is slow and dull and has no high points to make you cheer, laugh, cry or even moan in horror. You might chuckle 6 or 8 seconds here or there.
A full nudity shot of a young teenage girl might perk some adolescent up for the 90 seconds, but even Don Johnston (Bill Murray) character thought it was out of place and just damn weird.
